Mathematics - Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT)
Description
The study of mathematics develops analytic and quantitative skills, which are valuable in today's data-driven economy. The Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer with a focus in mathematics includes courses commonly required for a math major and meets lower-division general education requirements at all Oregon public universities.
A bachelor's degree with a major in math is great preparation for graduate school (such as schools of law, medicine, education, or business) and direct employment in industry, government, research, and business.
